Why is it important that sex cells have exactly the number of chromosomes as the body cells?
The DO NOT "have exactly the number of chromosomes as the body cells", they have 1/2 that number. This is so that when two sex cells come together to form an embryo, the cells of that embryo have exactly the same number of chromosomes as the body cells of the two parents and not twice that number.
Do skinny people have more cells than fat people?
No, the number of cells in a person's body is not directly related to their body weight or size. The number of cells is determined during development and remains relatively constant throughout adulthood. However, fat cells (adipocytes) can increase in size in response to weight gain, but do not necessarily increase in number.
Are adult cells and somatic cells the same?
Adult cells could refer to any cell in the adult body. Somatic cells however, are body cells (cells that have diploid number of chromosomes), different from germ cells (containing haploid number of chromosomes)
What are cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell?
From a single cell after fertilization. You have the cell division by mitosis. At the time of birth, you have 100 trillion cells in your body. out of which you have 25 trillion cells are red blood cells. they do not have nucleus in them. Rest of the body cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What did Walter Sutton observe?
he observed that grasshopper body cells and sex cells have the same number of chromosomes
How many brains cells does a szcheophreinic have?
The same number as ordinary people.
Is the DNA in people's cheek cells as the same as the DNA in other cells?
Yes. Within a single person, all of the somatic cells have the same nuclear genomic DNA; it does not matter if you compare DNA from a cheek cell to a liver cell.
All cells within an organism will have the same number of chromosomes except the gamete?
This is not entirely accurate. All cells in an organism carry the same number of chromosomes, except for gametes (sperm and egg cells) which are haploid and carry half the number of chromosomes as normal body cells (diploid).
How many chromosomes do body cells of organisms have in relationship to the sex cells of the same organism?
Body cells typically have a diploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, or gametes, have a haploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have one set of chromosomes. This allows for the correct number of chromosomes to be restored upon fertilization.
Why is it important sex cells have half the number of chromosomesas body cells?
This is important because two sex cells become fertilized and join together to form the new organism. If sex cells had the same number of chromosomes as body cells, then offspring would have twice as many chromosomes as a normal animal would.
Do all normal body cells in humans have the same karyotype?
No, not all normal body cells in humans have the same karyotype. Karyotype refers to the number and appearance of chromosomes in a cell, which can vary among different cell types in a single individual due to genetic diversity or the normal process of cell division.
How does the number of chromosomes in a zygote compare with the number of chromosomes in a body cell?
A zygote typically has a full set of chromosomes, with one set from each parent, so it has a diploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, body cells are also diploid, containing the same number of chromosomes as the zygote.
